Those Thai tailors, I have noticed, seem to push fabrics as wool, cotton and/or linen but most of the time they are nearly pure polyester. I don't know if a tailor traveling to Australia will try the same trick considering our consumer protection laws but it would not surprise me, especially if they are not familiar with the law.I wasn't willing to pay $xxxx for a smoking jacket, but I had one made up by a Thai tailor when I was in Thailand and, to be honest, it turned out...

I've never resorted to a book to write a resume or cover letter but I like the formatting of some of the templates that come with Apple Pages, IMO much cleaner than word. Also send/save resume as .pdf.

Here is an image for anyone not interested in watching those god awful, advertisment ridden, Australian news site videos. [[SPOILER]] I think the design is somewhat ugly (perhaps due to natural colours of the animal), especially closeup, but also it's pretty cool at the same time.

I would really like to see a pair of shoes with leather that has been "destroyed" from parade gloss. I think I might try and dig up some parade boots from the 70's and show some loafers from the 80's that have both been polished with parade gloss over their life.

I've used it for many many years since purchasing my first tin to polish parade boots. I've never seen any cracking or drying of the leather that some people "report" and it is for this reason I have never purchased a tin of regular black polish from kiwi. I might make my next tin of black polish regular kiwi to see the difference, but I'm very happy with the parade gloss.I would suggest trying black kiwi polish first, if you don't like the results go for something more...

I use kiwi's parade gloss and have no trouble at all maintaining a mirror shine. I wouldn't use any other product from kiwi though, every one of the brown polishes seems to turn shoes a red-ish colour.
